As for the CN "review" that could have been posted by the designer of the device, for all we know.
You are of course right, all these are possible. But, from looking at the TDM website and the results from the CN poster, as well as reading the technical information posted by Fred and Bojan on encoder technology and costs, I am still feeling charitable to the TDM dudes and personally, have chosen to give them the benefit of the doubt, or at least a fair go.

I think that Hungary is in Europe though.

I wonder if I re-visited the old forums of good old fashioned film astrophotography, would I be able to see the baby being thrown out with the bath water when the first Cookbook CCD camera appeared on the scene! Now I am just being naughty!

Cheers
